About this title

From the Publisher

The Tropical Diet™ takes the no out of dieting, and puts back the yes for delicious food, beverages, and desserts for weight loss, sport training, and for life.

Lisa’s Tropical Diet Detox prepares readers physically, nutritionally, and emotionally for permanent dietary change. Lisa’s Food, Fitness, and Pleasure Pyramid shows you how to reach nutritional enlightenment in six easy steps.

You can either eat gourmet home cooking or Convenience Cuisine—Lisa’s lingo for fast food, eating-on-the-run-type meals. Everything works on The Tropical Diet™. Even frozen meals and airplane food! Your favorite restaurant dishes can also be calculated to fit into your program. Better yet, you will learn how to order restaurant food in a new and healthful way so that you can follow The Tropical Diet™ all the time—forever—without feeling like you have to give up your social life because you’re trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss.

Most of the foods on The Tropical Diet™ are normal everyday foods. Unfamiliar foods are described in the Tropical Diet Glossary and in resources provided in the appendix. Most of the tropical seasoning and sides, the foods which make this diet tropical—are located in the produce, canned, or frozen foods sections of your store, or the health food store.

From the Author

By adding sexy new spices, delicious fruits, and creamy drinks to your life, The Tropical Diet™ lets you eat healthy foods and snacks without feeling deprived.
